Hello:
____________________________
Athlon 1800+
Biostar MB (fairly recent)
1000 megs ram
Maxtor 120gig 7200 (audio)
WD 80 gig 7200
Generic video card (pretty new 128meg Nvidia)
Audiophile 2496
Windows XP (NO service pack 2)
Currently running HS2004xl, Fruity Loops 5
____________________________
I downloaded and installed the Sonar 4 Demo. When I try to start it, I get a splash screen and then a vague generic error message something like "Sonarprd.exe has encountered an error and will shut down"
I called Sales at Cakewalk, he said sometimes the downloads get corrupted so I downloaded another one but there was no improvement.
This morning I tried starting XP in safe mode, and I got exactly the same results.
I've followed the recommendations for stripping away unnecessary processes in XP. I do have AVG anti virus on the computer, but control center is shut down, and I had task manager "end process" for any AVG activity. I can't figure out how to keep AVG from starting up without deleting the whole program. However, since S4
crashed in exactly the same fashion in safe mode, I'm thinking AVG isn't the problem.
Any suggestions?
Bill
